The BL2 and BL11still have there rightful place in the portfolio. ^^
As for using the BL14 with another pair of L+R speakers, while I would say it could be done, I question why someone would go that route. Wouldn't it kinda defeat the purpose of the BL14 system all together? For the price point you could purchase rears and hold out a little longer for a BL2 or look on the used market.
Or use all four satellites so that your existing front speakers stay at the front whilst the four satellite speakers make up the 7.1 surround sound setup?Now that I finally understood how a BL14-set is connected to a BV, I see that it very well might be possible to use some good existing frontspeakers in a combination with the BL14-sub and the two rear satelites. Buing a complete set would leave me with a pair of BL14-satelites....which could be used in another room as rears driven by a ML/MCL-converter/2P amp. Well, I really am looking forward to hearing and seeing the BL14-set! Greetings Millemissen

Existing subs are in very divided camps. I am a big fan of the bl2 and have two. I did borrow a bv11 for the week end when they were launched and tried it with 8000s and it did not make any difference. That's why I am thinking B&O might make something below the bl2 and above the bl11.

That is a good point!
With my post I just wanted to figure out the possibilities that come with the new set.
If it is/what is working of course depends your recent setup, the room and for what you mostly use your system (music vs video).
It is quite clear that - if you already have a pair of BL5 or 9 - you don't need the BL14-sub.
I just wanted us to do some 'creative thinking' 👍

The Beophile.com website has a picture up which may be the satellites.
They are the satellites..
Nice :)
To my ear the subwoofer unit for the BeoLab 14 setup is much more powerful than the BeoLab 11, which is a very delicate sub. It was able to really give a thumping bass where the BeoLab 11 would just add depth. (hopefully that distinction makes sense when written out)

Thanks for that Trip, its sounding very interesting. looking forward to hearing it during the week.
